I went and got the Fitzgerald translation. Is there a better edition, you think?

Also, I recommend Le Guin's great homage piece Lavinia

One of the best writers of the later 20th century.
Very soothing style. Writing about hulking war machines seems to pass in a haze.

I read Lavinia most recently. Very pleasant.

>Give women the vote, and you get a world like the one you see today
The world was like this before the vote. Your diagnosis is faulty

This is the instant classic I'm currently reading. Highly recommend it for those "resume with the Romans" posters.

But are there any Dante fanbois out there?
Can you tell me why Virgil was in Dante's dream/poem? Was it just because he's a big fanboi?

Then read Virgil's Aeneid and Le Guin's Lavinia

And why mustn't I? (Pictured)

Ovid re-imagined Greek mythology, Greek probably did the same to get that crazy mishmash of a pantheon.
There's a couple of tales about Telemachus. The Telegony, one Adventures of Telemachus by Fénelon and another by Aragon... I'm sorry, are sequel additions allowed? It brings characters back.

There's Atwood's Penelopiad, but I'll say it again, I really enjoyed The Lost Books of the Odyssey, by Zachery Mason.
